Everybody wants to talk about streetcars! So the city wants to spend a little dough — so what? I mean what's a fourth, maybe a third, of a billon bucks or so for our rich city. We've got money to burn, right? Our city leaders say it'll be good for city business. And with the estimated 4,700 daily riders forecast, well, that will cover almost 40 percent of the estimated daily operating costs and some of the 5 million bucks annual estimated maintenance — at least that's what Mr. Symes computed in his letter. Of course, what does he know? He forgot to add in costs to the city to help all of the folks injured when they try to cross the road between the stores and the trolley cars. Our leaders have not explained what all the benefits of streetcars are, and what will happen because we have the trolley cars that cannot happen without them!

Please divulge this big secret you have hinted about and you'll have us all cheering with you.

This article told of an eighth-grade school class that participated in a slavery re-enactment in Massachusetts as part of their history class study of the slavery period in American history.

The school from which the students came from has now filed a human rights violation against the Massachusetts school district since some of the students were traumatized when racial epithets were thrown at them during the re-enactment.

When will we stop trying to change history because it's ugly or uncomfortable? History is what it is. It's not always pretty but it is truthful. We changed Eisenhower's words on the World War II memorial deleting the reference to God.

Some wanted to change the statue of the firefighters raising the flag at ground zero to make it more politically correct! History is what it is. If you don't like it, go somewhere else and make your own history!
